Masters of Defense/Baronial Birthday

description:
Come one and all to join Their Excellencies, Vlad and Mebd and celebrate the birthday of the Barony of Lochmere. In celebration of this glorious event there will be a tournament in the style of the Masters of Defence. Combatants will fight in five forms each of both heavy and rapier. The five forms for the heavy list will include Weapon and Shield, Greatsword, Polearm, Double Weapon, Single Sword. Rapier will include Single Weapon, Case Weapon, Sword and Buckler, Sword and Dagger and Weapon and Parry Device.

Due to the small size of the list field and surrounding area, tents and
pavilions will be extremely limited. Please contact the Autocrat with
pavilion requests and sizes. We can not guarantee that you will be able to
set up near the list field, but we will do our best to provide a comfortable
viewing area.

There will be a Children's Activity tent set up far enough from the list
field to keep small children out of harm's way given the confined area
surrounding the list field. Lady Hrosvitha von Celle is in charge of
Children's Activities. NOTE: A parent or legal guardian must accompany and
remain with any child brought to the Activity tent. Please contact Vitha at
kerrimart@mindspring.com for more information.

Mistress Keillyn Fitzwarren is planning a sumptuous feast using recipes from
De Fait du Cuisine, a cookbook from the early 15th C., and prepared by
Keilyn's Companie of Cooks. There will also be a simple lunch served. Please
contact Mistress Keilyn at keilyn@comcast.net with dietary restrictions.
